Comment on Tesla’s “Mad Max” mode is now under federal scrutiny
tal@lemmy.today 1 week agoThere’s a case that at some point — maybe not today — computer controlled cars should have more-relaxed restrictions on things like speed and following distance, just because they won’t be limited by things like human reaction time and senses.

Not a great case if you really think about the implications, unless they legislatively make human drivers completely illegal. There’s an even better case for just investing in mass transit to get more personal cars off the roads, and encouraging other modes of personal transport auch as bicycles.
I am just not interested in helping to build a world with a panopticon in my personal car.
